“The Sun Dial of Zeltingen” Zeltinger Sonnenuhr

This steep 21 hectare (52 acres) south-southwest-facing site features moderately-deep, stony soil of eroded clayey slate. A special feature of the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr is the prevalence of surfaces that were not subjected to the process of wholesale vineyard restructuring and resurfacing known as Flurbereinigung and that harbor ancient, ungrafted Riesling vines. Wines from the Zeltinger Sonnenuhr are incredibly elegant and delicate, with an abundant interplay of flavors and filigree acid structure.

Fully honey suckle on display. The Botristis comes right at you on the nose with over ripe almost sweet lemons. There is a bit of white aged cheddar as well. Fine slate note on the palate with a sweetness that sneaks up on you with every sip.
